in my school time (80s and 90s) my parents were both full time worker. so they prepare lunch for the whole week and froze it. so when me and my siblings came back from school around 1 or 2 oclock we just reheat the meal we whant to eat and at some point we learned how to prepair our food by our self. and i think thats one way to teach kids to be indipendent

If kids start at a school there are many things to have, but in further years on that schools, things stay the same, except sometime books you have to buy or the boots you write in in elemenary school. Care about the "Lineatur"! Yes school bags are a serious issue and we hve this specialzed shops. But you can also get second hand bags, usually when the kid leaves elemenary school they will change the bag. Breakfast in school is usually the Schulbrot you prepare in the morning. Often schools do not allow to have sweets in school, except it is a birthday. Schoolstart is usually between 07:30 and 08:30 and some ask for a later start for teenagers. And the Ganztagsschule (whoke day school) in elementary school is an issue. It might be advantages for some parents, but broight major trouble to the sports clubs, as they had to shift the training hours into late afternoon or evening also for smaller kids, as they now stay in school until afternoon 15:00 or 16:00. But in Germany you expect, that children from the age of 12 could also stay at home unattended. And yes, start and end of school days can vary greatly. And the curriculum in schools vary from federal state to federal state. Walking, riding ir taking public transport to school is normal. And schools try to ban Elterntaxis (parents who drive their kids to school) as much as possible, as they endanger all the other kids, who walk or ride.

I guess for both countries it is: the students are the experts 🙂 ... we (or only you yourself) will see how your son's reality will turn out in the next years (elemantary school first) ...and you can compare these experiences with your own ones as a teacher of 2nd level school in Germany ... school ...a new chapter of life 🙂

Yea true. I hope to add him to the videos when that time comes so he can share his experiences, of course his will be different. I can already tell his journey will be very unique compared to my school as a student and the school I currently work with. He is lucky enough that it seems the community has really embraced the small school in our village. Whereas the sekundarschule in the community I work in seems to be an afterthought
